Deprivation Of Emloyment Opportunities In Telangana And Despair Among Youth
by Mr. Dr. Shaik Khaleel Rahman

One of the main reasons why students and youth in Telangana today are actively taking part in the agitation for statehood to Telangana and also in 1969 is due to “the deprivation of employment opportunities in Telangana and consequent despair among the youth ever since Telangana was merged with Andhra State in 1956”.

The merger of Telangana with Andhra was against the recommendation of First States Reorganization Commission headed by Justice Fazal Ali.

Releasing the SRC report in 1955, in Para 386, the Commission pointed out,

“ After taking all these factors into consideration we have come to the conclusions that it will be in the interests of Andhra as well as Telangana areas to constitute into a separate State, which may be known as the Hyderabad State with provision for its unification with Andhra after the general elections likely to be held in or about 1961, if by a two thirds majority the legislature of the residency of Hyderabad State expresses itself in favor of such unification.”

Every section of Society in Telangana today be they farmers, employees, students and unemployed youth etc are repenting for the FORCED MERGER OF TELANGANA that took place in 1956 against the wishes of its people and SRC recommendations. Every strata of the Telangana people today are agitating, yelling against the biased treatment meted out to Telangana by the Andhra Pradesh Government. All people of Telangana, aged and young; educated and illiterate, male and female, poor and rich; are united in every village and city of every Telangana District to demand Telangana State.

WE ALL ARE FEELING ONLY ONE THING. HAD OUR TELANGANA NOT BEEN MERGED IN 1956 WITH ANDHRA IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE PROSPEROUS, LANDS VERY, VERY GREEN, YOUTH COMPLETELY EMPLOYED AND FARMERS EVER HAPPY.
